Youth Cup: Alexandersson Wants His Players To Show Big Heart While Playing For India
Pink Ladies U20 Youth Cup: The Indian U20 women's team will take on Jordan in the first match of the Pink Ladies U20 Youth Cup at the Emirhan Sports Centre here on Wednesday. For India, this friendly tournament is part of their preparations for the SAFF U20 Women's Championship (July) and the AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers (August).
Coach Joakim Alexandersson's side will later face Hong Kong (February 22) and Russia (February 25) in the U20 Youth Cup.
But the first challenge is Jordan, a side against which India has generally had an upper hand at the youth level. In the erstwhile AFC U19 Women's Championship Qualifiers, India beat Jordan twice and lost once. In February 2023, India U17 women beat the West Asians twice in two friendlies (7-0 and 6-0), where winger Pooja, who is part of the current U20 squad, scored twice.
